Featuring the latest Quad Core i5 processor on Intel Media Series board, 6GB SATA transfer rates, onboard HD video and tweaked for audio.

Built from trusted brands and components, the Control Tower PC offers powerful audio recording and mixing in a very quiet mid-ATX setup. Available in 32 bit or 64 bit, this tweaked system can take what just about any studio can toss its way, with headroom to spare.

Our design process was simple: a recording engineer and tech (who has been using Windows based PC's since the mid-90's in his commercial studio) selected each component from the stand point of reliability and simplicity. Using Intel's excellent on-board video and a minimum of added components there is simply less chance for conflict, bringing you a strong and steady machine that wants to do one thing well...process audio. These already quiet machines include a remote controlled variable speed fan for further tweaking in the field if needed.

Locally built and tweaked for DAW use @ ZenPro. When purchased along with DAW hardware and software, we can setup and test your entire system here upon request.
